	Clergy Sex Abuse Victims Call to Boycott Providence Diocese Associated Press, carried in Boston Herald April 30, 2008 http://news.bostonherald.com/news/national/northeast/view.bg?articleid=1090752&srvc=home&position=recent PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Advocates for clergy sex abuse victims are calling on Roman Catholics to stop donating to the Providence Diocese until it does more for potential victims of two priests accused of abusing children. The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests is holding a news conference Wednesday outside the diocesan offices in Providence. Director David Clohessy says they'll be calling on Bishop Thomas Tobin to reach out to potential victims of Philip Magaldi and A.J. Cote (KOH'-tee). Magaldi was removed as a priest in 1999 after sexual misconduct allegations in Rhode Island and Texas. Church officials in Texas have recently disclosed that he is HIV positive. Coteis also accused of abusing children in several parishes. Both men worked at churches in Rhode Island.
